ABOUT THE TEACHER

My name is Marta Fernandez and I am from Spain. I obtained a diploma in Spanish teaching from the Hemingway Institute (Spain), which is officially recognized and pedagogically oriented by the Cervantes Institute (a major institution devoted to the teaching and spread of Spanish language and culture worldwide). The teaching methodology that I have learnt is based in the communicative method, where the teaching of the new language focuses preferably in semantics than in formal aspects of the language. I love nature, photography, cinema and music.

TEACHER EDUCATION

I have a diploma in Spanish teaching from the Hemingway Institute (Bilbao, Spain), "Curso de Profesores de Español como Lengua Extranjera ELE". Also, I have a B.Sc in Environmental Sciences, University of Alcalá (Madrid, Spain) and a M.Sc. in Biodiversity & Ecosystem Management and Functioning University of Basque Country (Bilbao, Spain).

TEACHER EXPERIENCE

I have experience in both teaching Spanish and other education-related fields. Since I was 16 years old, I have been tutoring students in disciplines such as Mathematics, Biology, Physics and Chemistry, and since last year I have given private Spanish lessons to several international students (USA and France) in Spain.
